The Ataris' 'Car Song' 7-inch is dedicated to the memory of William Charles Roe, father of lead vocalist/guitarist Kristopher Roe and the self-proclaimed biggest fan of The Ataris who has ever lived.

William Charles Roe passed in January 2014 and his body was cremated shortly thereafter.

In addition to being Kristopher Roe's father and the self-proclaimed biggest fan of The Ataris who has ever lived, William Charles Roe was an alcoholic. He battled alcoholism most of his life and his family was deeply affected by his struggles. Double Helix Records will be donating a portion of the profits from the sale of this record to the selected US-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization to help those who are struggling with or affected by alcoholism and addiction. Double Helix Records made a $1,000 upfront donation to the selected charitable partner to kickstart the donation effort before a single 7-inch record was listed for sale.

The record features a brand-new The Ataris song called "Car Song" on Side A, which is the first radio single released by The Ataris since 2017. "Car Song" is backed with a full-band re-recording of the hit single "In This Diary" from their 2003 full-length album 'So Long, Astoria' on Side B. The inclusion of "In This Diary" was quite deliberate because it was one of William Charles Roe's favorite The Ataris songs and it was the first time he saw the band and his son on TV. Each side of the 7-inch record includes a custom matrix engraving selected by Kristopher Roe.

Double Helix Records is releasing three limited-edition custom color variants of The Ataris' 'Car Song' 7-inch record, all of which were pressed by Microforum Vinyl in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. These three limited-edition custom color variants do not contain William Charles Roe's ashes, so if you are looking to purchase the variant that does contain his ashes, please check the other product listing. Double Helix Records will be donating a minimum of $1 per unit sold to the selected charitable partner, with $1,000 provided as an upfront donation.

All three limited-edition custom variants are exclusive to The Ataris, Double Helix Records, and DHR’s distribution partners (e.g., Hello Merch, TMom Merch, Cobraside Distribution) around the world and will only be pressed as part of the first pressing of the ‘Car Song’ 7-inch:

-V1: Turquoise & Black Smoke Variant (310x available worldwide)
-V2: Turquoise & Silver Ring Variant (310x available worldwide)
-V3: Rust Red Splatter (418x available worldwide)

Track Listing:

Side A - “Car Song”
Side B – “In This Diary” (2025 Re-Recorded Version)

IMPORTANT NOTE:
The real charm of custom vinyl records is that every record might be somewhat unique in its appearance. This means that the vinyl record you receive likely won't look exactly like the one pictured here, but that also means that no one else in the world will own a vinyl record exactly like yours. So, this vinyl record is a piece of art in more ways than one. We hope you enjoy it! Also, if you are pre-ordering this record, please know that the vinyl record you receive won't look exactly like the one pictured here, but it will be either a close approximation – or something even more magical!

*Please use caution with USPS Media Mail. This method is offered as an old school budget service for physical music, but highly discouraged, as it poses a greater risk for delays and damage.

Huge amount of fabric at skirt, very unflattering
Size: X-Small, Color: Black Eyelet
This is a high quality and well-made dress, especially at the price point, but it is also one of the most unflattering things I have ever put on my body. I'm 5'7", size 2-4, 36B and bought the XS. The top was fine, but the skirt was GIANT. There is so much fabric, and it is a heavier weight so it doesn't really fall. On the bottom I looked like a size 10-12. There are also pockets to add to the bulk - unpopular opinion, but I can't stand pockets in dresses especially when they are made of heavier fabrics like this and add even more volume at the hips. The black eyelet 100% cotton fabric is nice but there is just way too much of it. I had ordered the brown gingham too but canceled the order after trying this one on.

Size down

Cute dress, runs large. I’m usually a true medium but sized down to a small based on other reviews and it fits perfectly.

Skirt portion of dress was awesome!
Size: Medium, Color: Black
Great skirt with pockets. Loved the light cotton fabric. Needed a little more support up top than what the dress could give. Probably better for AA-C bust.
